He completed his residency in child neurology and a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology/pediatric epilepsy, both at Johns Hopkins. During his training, he studied the mechanism of the ketogenic diet at NINDS. As a faculty member at Johns Hopkins, his lab and clinical research on novel metabolism-based treatments for epilepsy was funded by NIH, the State of Maryland, and private sources.
